DSORennie aliceysu The only thing seems universal in the world of economy is the wild cycles of inflation and recessions! No political institutions has yet found a way to curb it! Ummm....what is the Swiss model! Can it be done on a world scale?!

DSORennie aliceysu Great questions, amazing guests. It's just a shame DSORennie is so eager to answer them & push for his very British position. From my LATAM perspective, this show will only act as an echo chamber unless more plural & global perspectives are front & center (not accessories).

DSORennie aliceysu universal values are universal but every country has different stage and context,so universal values should and must be various.We are all human being but there are the white、the black 、the yellow and so on

DSORennie aliceysu I guess that's why people are always rioting in china. They just love the lack of 'western' values.

DSORennie aliceysu Wea is de lie 🤥

DSORennie aliceysu China also argues since they isolated themselves from the rest of the world, they didn’t participate in writing international law and thus all international law should be rewritten. For example, how far from a shore does a countries border extend, etc.

DSORennie aliceysu the topic of Universal Values being denied existance is at the core of conflict

DSORennie aliceysu It's widely accepted as fact by most social scientists.

DSORennie aliceysu Chinese fragility aye.

DSORennie aliceysu The West: hey, stop stealing our research! China: why are you holding us down? 😭

DSORennie aliceysu what conclusion do they reach? or do they?
